slo’s TUESDAY 2/6 poll - Campbell’s Chunky Soup 🥣

[loves to dive]

I buy them every once in awhile but they are not my favorite. A little too chunky for me. Also, a little too expensive.

I like the chunky soups...I really enjoy spicy food, but do not like their "spicy" versions of their soups

It's been years since I ate canned soup, and decades since I've eaten Campbell's Chunky soups. I used to keep a can or two of Progresso soups in the pantry but I I don't any longer. I make soup now, although I admit that I use Tyvek boxes of chicken stock for the broth. If I'm feeling fancy, I'll grab a rotisserie chicken, save the breast meat, and use the rest to make home made chicken stock in my Instant Pot.

I only purchase the cans when Publix has them on BOGO.

I'd get the bowls when I was regularly commuting in the office. I do like soup, and for me it's an easy lunch during the workweek. I'm not picky about flavors, so I get a bit of everything.

I don't eat the Campbell's Chunky Soups, but dh does. He likes the Healthy Request Chicken and Noodle. He used to have all kinds, but over the years it has dwindled to just this flavor.

I only but the canned version.

 

[disney4us2002]

No, Campbell's was never my brand of choice. I much prefer Progresso soups.

I like Chunky soup and do usually keep a few cans of that or Progresso on hand for quick dinners (whichever is on sale usually). I think I prefer Chunky, particularly Chicken Corn Chowder or the Jazzy Jambalaya. They actually aren't bad calorie-wise, but the sodium is where it will get you, so I try not to have them all the time.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

Other, because I'm not really a soup eater. When I have had it (the Chunky style) I like the beefy ones. Not spicy.

I buy a few cans at the beginning of hurricane season, because it’s a shelf stable meal requiring no extra water that I could just heat and eat. If I don’t need them due to a storm, then I eat them after the season is over and then pick up fresh cans when the season starts again. I don’t really eat soup under normal conditions, unless you count chili as a soup.

 

[RedAngie]

I buy Chunky soups maybe once a year when they’re on sale for like 4 for $6. My long time favorite is Manhattan Clam Chowder, and recently Chicken Corn Chowder.

The same for Progresso, buy a few cans once a year on sale. Tomato Rotini is my favorite.

I was just at Shop Rite. Regular prices for Chunky is $2.99, Progresso $3.19.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I don't eat it but my husband does. I make homemade soup instead.

 

[Forevermarypoppins]

I prefer Progresso over Campbell's soup. My favorites are all the Tomato flavors and Italian Wedding soup.
We buy both brands because husband and grandson like Campbell's tomato soup better.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I like that stuff... I tend to stick with stuff like chicken noodle etc... I think the chicken corn chowder stuff is one of my favorites.

 

[Babs Johnson]

Chunky Soup about 3 or 4 times per year.

 

[amcnj]

I have purchased some Campbells Chunky soups in the distant past. Most years I mainly used Progresso and Campbell’s tomato and maybe Chicken Noodle. Now I would say I am more likely to make soup. I even resisted purchasing any Progresso soups during the Shop Rite Can Can sale this year. Though they seemed a lot higher priced than I remembered from past years too.

I prefer the regular Campbell's soup to those chunky variety ones. Seems they put too much of something like corn starch into those to make them 'thicker' and gives it an odd consistency. Their regular soups don't seem to have that issue.

 

[mumto3girls]

I love soup, but mostly make my own in huge batches that I freeze for my lunches in the colder months. I do occasionally buy Campbell’s Chunky Soups for the nostalgia factor especially the sirloin burger one. My grandfather often watched me and my sisters when we were little. He grew up poor and was often hungry as a kid. He liked nothing more than to see his children and grandchildren eat. He often made the sirloin burger soup for us. He would pick the meat out of his bowl and put it into our bowls because we were “growing” and “needed” it. It was very sweet, but unnecessary as my sisters and I never experienced hunger. That soup makes me think of him and even the smell of it takes me right back to his kitchen.

 

[dznymemories]

I have never been a real soup eater. I remember eating Campbell Tomato soup (always made with whole milk). But I had to put an oyster cracker on top of each spoonful so I guess it was more about the crackers.

I love soup. I do prefer homemade or out at a restaurant over canned but I will eat almost anything. I like a few kinds, including the Chunky. I guess the chicken noodle is my most often eaten one but I like vegetable too. They used to make one called Hearty Vegetable with Pasta that was REALLY good but I don't think they make it anymore, at least I haven't seen it around.
